A new pilot green biorefinery has launched on the Munster Technological University (MTU) Kerry campus.
The biorefinery marks an important milestone in Ireland’s move towards sustainable agriculture and a circular bioeconomy. The facility will develop technologies that convert the country’s grasslands into a range of products, including high-quality animal feeds, human-grade protein, prebiotics, flavours and bioenergy.
